"Sakura ~ Hanagasumi" (Sakura ～花霞～) is Mika Nakashima's 25th single, released on March 12, 2008. Both "Sakura ~ Hanagasumi" and "Confusion" were used on TV-CM's. "Sakura: Hanagasumi" was used for a camera CM and "Confusion" was used for a Kanebo KATE CM, in which the make-up product was also called "Confusion."

'Sakura ~Hanagasumi~' is best described as an adult contemporary ballad with a more poignant mood than 'Sakurairo Maukoro.' However, the Daishi Dance Version of the song appears on the VOICE album instead of the original version, which is featured in its promotional video.
